Hi All,
I am new to UNIX and have installed FreeBSD 7.2 on a laptop computer and have been using it for a couple of weeks now, I have not installed a GUI because I want to get used to the command line, I am logged on locally to the console.
Can you please let me know how I can change the display settings?
I use the cshell and sometimes bash, at the moment the text size on the display is so large I have to scroll to view content that I should otherwise be able to view on a single screen.
I have included the output of uname –a and env, believing that the answer has something to do with the environment variable TERM, am I right?
Please advice.
Thank you
